I have a composition in mind, but I want the finished results to have a watercolor feel to them. Thus, I decided to try this tutorial.

My stock image came from Deviant Art, courtesy of GraySho. Go check out his gallery, he has a lot of nice work.

My results?

Nicely surreal, but I think I should have used the clone tool or some adjustments to fix the bits of lens flare. The purple bits kind of stand out on the rock. Still, a much, much better result than simply using Photoshop’s ‘watercolor’ filter.
